One of the main connections that I can make is that to the Hunger Games. More the idea of kids killing other kids. The only real difference between them is that in the Hunger Games‚ the kids kill each other not because they want too or because they enjoy it. They do it to survive.

deal of power dynamics. The first kind of power is political power‚ which is excellently displayed by Katniss in The Hunger Games. By being the girl on fire‚ she is politically challenging the Capitol. A moment with Haymitch also shows her political power when he explains to her‚ “You’re in trouble.

In the Hunger Games‚ Katniss

This is shown through the use of Panem audience experience being alluded to the audience experience of Roman upper and lower class at the gladiatorial games‚ comparing the Hunger Games arena to the Roman Colosseum and contrasting the tributes to the Roman gladiators. Seneca stated in Epistles 7‚ “it was really mere butchery.” This shows that not all people enjoyed watching the gladiatorial games. Some of the audience
